Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development by reason of the quantum of development will result in the overdevelopment of the site and will result in the loss of open space which provides a valuable green space within a predominantly built-up area. As such the proposed development would be contrary to policies SP1, SP5, SP6, HS3 and NE2 of the Burnley Local Plan (July 2018).

From the council's decision notice.
